Baptist Medical Center Leake 1100 Mississippi 16, Carthage, MS 39051

"The staff was very rude and unprofessional this afternoon. Evan J Pickus was the doctor who treated my sister. He behaved in poor taste, as well as his colleagues. They were condescending and rude. 0 out of 10 recommend."

"Before I say anything I love the clinic. Very polite and they keep you involved. About 4 months ago I broke my foot I did not get an X-ray because the lady I talked to in billing told me it was going to cost me a couple hundred bucks. I just stayed off my foot and kept it wrapped. I had a dr appt this morning and I was glad because I was feeling pretty bad. My doctor ordered X-rays I was ready! I had my $100 to pay. Now this same girl that I saw said 3 X-rays were ordered and I would have to pay a min of $200 per X-ray totaling $600. Again I was denied medical treatment. My doctor is looking for a hospital that will do my X-ray and YES I have insurance. Carthage hospital how many people can walk in and pay $600 for X-ray"

"Awful coding and billing processing. I got billed by for a procedure that was covered by insurance. When I called I was assured that, "It was taken care of." Next thing I know, my account is going to collections and my good credit takes a hit. I'm still dealing with paperwork from the same appointment ten months later because their billing company in Birmingham is "a little behind." I got another bill a month after my payment cleared the bank. Ten months? That's right in time for my annual physical! Edit - Second billing and coding snafu! I never received the separate bill sent for lab work. My account was sent to collections. "Customer service" is hardly accurate. I was on hold listening to the same recording over and over before the line hung up. Once I reached someone by phone to get information they were vague and rude. Huge disappointment."

"Hospital staff have been wonderful to my family. Starting with the ER . We brought in my 95 year old grandmother and they have been outstanding. We were unknown to them and her doctor did not do er patients. She is Medicare and Medicaid ."

"This hospital seriously needs an overhaul in staff! The ER doctor sent my husband home, he was having chest pains! Though his blood work was showing elevated levels, they said his EKG was fine! Next day, while in Union, his chest started hurting worse. Took him to Laird emergency room, he was having a heart attack! They were surprised he made it through the night! He had to be rushed by ambulance to Meridian! If its an emergency, I suggest going elsewhere."
